4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, funny, helpful and heartwarming December 31, 2009
Format:Paperback
When I received this book, I was expecting a series of pages with good, one-line tips. I'd have been happy with that.

Instead, this book is a delightful adventure through brilliant quotations, think-outside-of-the-box exercises, and thoughtful essays. For me, it's the equivalent of a walk on the beach with the salt air clearing out the mental cobwebs.

I laughed at some pages (as an artist, the comment about some art struck me funny), got a little misty-eyed over others, and -- in general -- I was very impressed with how fresh and different this book is.

Some of the themes will be familiar to people who've read a lot of self-help material. Oh, it's still valid, and I appreciate the author's different views on those topics.

However, this book shines on the many pages where the concepts and suggestions are highly original, easier to accomplish, and more effective than what many self-help gurus recommend.

Frankly, until I read this book, no one ever told me to stand on a chair for such a clever purpose. (That's number seven of the hundred ways to develop your mind, and the reasoning behind it is innovative and fun.)

I'll recommend this book to friends who like The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles. Many of the exercises in this book are ideal for creative people who need to get unstuck right away, where they are.

This is the kind of book I'll keep on my desk and refer to when a project has become too much by-the-numbers, or when I'm running low on enthusiasm and need something to restore my interest, energy and optimism.

I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Challenge Your Thinking December 29, 2009
Format:Paperback
Recently, I got this book and wasn't sure what to expect. But I loved the title and I am someone who always wants to learn, grow and continue to develop my mind. That's exactly what this book did!

One thing that I loved about this book is that it was quick-hitting and easy to read. It's not a book with a ton of pages and fluff. It provides 100 quick strategies to help challenge your thinking and develop your mind. Please understand that not every single idea in the book was relevant to me, for example the "Quit Smoking" chapter, and they may not be for you but overall you will gain tremendous benefit from reading this book. For example, a few of the chapters I really enjoyed were Do the Thing You Fear the Most, Stand up For Yourself, Talk To A Stranger, Carry Yourself With Confidence and Stop trying To Multitask.

In short, I highly recommend this book if you want to continue to develop you mind and do it in several varying and fun ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and thought provoking in small doses January 1, 2010
Format:Paperback
I'm not a huge fan of page-per-thought books but for some reason Steven's new book has got me captivated.

Each page usually starts with a brilliant quote (some of which I have started squirrelling away for my own use)and many of his ideas (like stand on a chair for five minutes a day) actually make sense within the single page and best of all I want to do them!

I especially like the book's focus on ways to build up a a positive self-image. I read a lot of technical psychology books but Steve offers ways to affirm one's strengths that don't need hours of study to understand.

All in all, you may not be able to use everything in here but you will almost certainly find something. Even a seasoned personal development reader will find something they can use and add to their reportoire. Well done Steve for writing the book and we look forward to the next one.
